We’re looking for a Machine Learning Research Engineer to join an early-stage quantum computing start-up developing full-stack quantum systems.
This role sits at the intersection of advanced ML research and applied engineering, focusing on generative algorithms and hybrid quantum-classical models. You’ll work closely with clients and partners to show how ML and quantum technologies can solve real-world challenges.
Responsibilities:
- Design, implement, and evaluate new machine learning algorithms, particularly generative models (GANs, flow models, diffusion models) and hybrid quantum-classical neural networks.
- Partner with clients to translate practical problems onto the company’s quantum hardware and deliver solutions that demonstrate value.
- Expand and improve the company’s software platform with new algorithms, example applications, and research-driven features.
- Support scientific innovation by publishing findings and helping safeguard intellectual property.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
